it most obviously is a METV, as he paid 300.- AUD visa fee. However it also could be a Single-Entry Tourist visa, in case his application to a Multi Entry Tourist visa was incomplete so they issued only a single entry and kept the visa fee. This happens!

you actually had to cancel your ED-extension on Immigration with those paper documents of your university, before you left Thailand. So now the game is open, you will probably succeed - because the embassy in Cambodia can't see your multi entry ED stay permit - but Immigration will be seeing it on their central computer, and it is an unfinished process, so perhaps it's Immigration that will cause a problem

@Marcin ******

not really missing anything, because some Immigrations actually refuse the last 30-days extension and send you home with a "you got 7 days to leave the kingdom" stamp. Those "almost 9 months" are not guaranteed (because nobody flies to Thailand on the exact date their METV gets issued)

@George ***********

And, even after all these discussions in the group, you are still in the wrong!

You said you paid 300.- AUD visa fee

This would mean that you MOST OBVIOUSLY were issued a 6-months multi entry Tourist Visa. Check the photo below. It lists the visa fees of the Thai General Consulate Sidney

The visa validity is 6 months from the date it is issued. Each entry stamps you in for 60 days. You can extend every 60 days stay permit with 30 more days on Immigration for 1900.- THB.

If you exit and re-enter Thailand short of the expiry date of the visa, you will get stamped in for 60 days for a last time. By this you can get almost 8 months stay in Thailand out of this visa

So would you please have a look at the pdf. visa document you printed, and tell us how long the visa validity is? It is the date printed after the text “visa valid until”

@Al**

thatda to intimate a question😅

@Al**

it could be Chichen Itza

just pay 5000.- THB for an agent to open a Bangkok Bank account for you. Easy Peasy

@Craig ********

“need to wait but if you are here over 6 months then you would be considered a “resident” but not necessarily as a tax resident”

Out of which nose did you pull this wrong statement?

Thailand clearly says: If you stay in Thailand longer than 180 days within a calendar year, you become a “tax resident”

you got a Non-Imm-OA visa, not a Non-Imm-O. All Non-Imm-O visa categories are pdf. printouts, no more stickers. If you would apply in Australia for a new Non-Imm-O/A visa, it too won't be a sticker any more
